Shuttle k45 - Is 80W enough?

[travisbickle]

Hi

I've recently purchased a Shuttle K45 barebones system together with an E1200 dual-core Celeron CPU and a PicoPSU-90 (with 80 W brick) but am a little worried that 80W will not be sufficient for the components inside.

The set up consists of the following:

Shuttle K45
E1200 Celeron Dual-Core
160GB 7200rpm 3.5" Hard Drive
D-Link wireless network card
9.2mm Case fan

Additionally there will be a Bluetooth USB dongle, a USB Keyboard and possibly an external (bus or self-powered) DVD-RW attached to the system.

Will an 80W power brick attached to the 90 PicoPSU be sufficient for the system or should I return both and get a PicoPSU-120 with a higher wattage adapter?

Thanks in advance!

Are you not using the built in power supply

Nope.

Trying to keep it as quiet as possible.

80w is enough if the PSU is not built by mini-box!

Well, considering that it ships with a 100w PSU I'd think that you're fine with an 80w PSU with what you've got. I ran my E1280, Wifi card, laptop DVD, 92mm fan and two 750 gig HDDs off of the stock PSU just fine.

There are pretty beefy laptops out there running a lot more then the OP on similar power supplies. I think you'll be fine.
